點擊次數：10139

The 2019 Crozes Hermitage le Clos managed to escape hail damage but remains an intense, concentrated effort. Hints of violets and garrigue appear on the nose alongside cassis and black cherries, while the full-bodied palate is supple, leading into a long, licorice-tinged finish. Drink it over the next decade or so. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

Like the Grands Chemins, Delas's 2017 Crozes Hermitage le Clos has improved since last year, now showing charming floral notes alongside hints of black olives and ripe cherries. It's full-bodied, creamy and concentrated yet silky and fine, with hints of mocha building on the finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

Black olive notes combine with brighter, red-fruit elements on the nose of the 2016 Crozes Hermitage le Clos. It's a smooth, medium-bodied Syrah that impresses for its elegance and length rather than blockbuster concentration or richness. It should drink well for the next 6-7 years.
